A federal prosecutor says Reed submitted fraudulent paperwork to immigration authorities. The prosecutor says paperwork included a marriage license that was never filed with the state of Kansas and a false declaration that they lived together in Lawrence.

Reed faces up to five years in federal prison when she is sentenced in January.

Prosecutors say Reed’s arrangement was part of a conspiracy for foreigners seeking residency. They say the man who led the conspiracy was charged for coaching people how to answer questions during an immigration interview.
